She doesn't want to admit that "affirmative action" is just racial discrimination by another name, and that in practice it amounts to a modern-day Chinese Exclusion Act.
The Wise-Ass Latina is, herself, a perfect example of why racial preferences are a Bad Thing. She's not fit to be on the bench at all, let alone on the supreme court.
The only purpose of the whole corn ethanol debacle is to transfer vast amounts of money from the taxpayers and the gasoline-buying public to Cargill and Archer Daniels Midland. Any other claimed purpose is, and always was, bullshit.
His antipathy towards our most important civil right, the right to self defense, shows that Stevens was never fit to be admitted to the bar at all. The second amendment doesn't need fixing, it needs ENFORCEMENT.
The right to keep and bear arms isn't for the government to grant or withhold, and the second amendment doesn't even presume to do so. It acknowledges the right as pre-existing, it cites one important reason for preserving it, and forbids the government from infringing it.
one big-ass rotor is far more efficient and generates far more lift than a bunch of small ones.
The trade off is that one big-ass rotor makes a hell of a lot more noise, and is a single point of failure. The multicopter can lose several motors before it's unable to stay aloft.
there is a reason basics of helicopter design has not changed in decades, nothing else makes sense.
The multicopter wasn't feasible in the days of mechanical controls. Computers are better/faster/cheaper, and make things possible that weren't possible in the past.
If you want a flying car, check out e-volo. They've flown their prototypes, they've got the cooperation of the German government, and apparently adequate funding to bring it to market.
Sorry, but I don't see a problem with anyone shopping for shoes when a hurricane is hitting some other part of the country. She wasn't part of FEMA, she wasn't a member of any search-and-rescue organizations, and dealing with Katrina wasn't her job. What exactly do you propose that she should have been doing to save lives in Louisiana during the storm?
That's what nanny-state pricks like Bloomberg have for the public, and why they believe they're entitled to tell us all what to do. I'd like to see Bloomberg try to operate a continuous mining machine without dropping a thousand tons of rock on his conceited head.

Thanks for titling your post appropriately. What you said was, indeed, bullshit.

Perhaps teaching kids that use of guns and violence in schools will not be tolerated is a good thing?
Perhaps you're a blithering idiot. Oh, wait: there's no question about that.

Clean it up, land it on the rig, and then offload with a crane to a barge
It would be way cooler if they just gave it a minimal fuel load and flew it back to the cape.

The HP 2647 terminals we had in my high school were built like tanks. I'd bet they'd still work today.

Yeah, like he said: cartels.

That is, unless we abolish the federal reserve and re-establish sound money.

The sick fuck principal and the sick fuck vice-principal at my middle school just loved to paddle kids until their asses were purple.
Never encountered that in school, but by 9th grade I already knew what kind of damage you could do to someone if you knew their name, address and SSN.

Would you rather hire a support technician with an arm's length list of industry certifications or a 4 year degree?
Neither, actually. When I interview people, I really don't care about what tickets they've gotten punched. I want them to demonstrate proficiency.

Every job I've had - Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, Florida, Tennessee - have required a BS at minimum.
Yeah, that tends to be a problem when you're looking in locations so far removed from where the action is. Try the Silicon Valley.

If you want to earn 1/3 as much as an engineer, and barely enough to survive in NYC, then don't get a degree.
Speak for yourself. I never got a degree, and I did fine in NYC back in my Wall Street days.

FWIW, those H1B workers typically have degrees.

'Unless you have the I.D. in hand when (not if) I stop you,' says one cop, 'no love will be shown.'"
Seems to me that this cop has just admitted that he does in fact practice selective enforcement.
